Theft of paving stones

Skip main menu
The theft of paving stones or flags and iron works like manhole covers and gully grates is a criminal offence.  Not only does it have a financial impact on our resources it can create very dangerous conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.  

Although is it extremely rare in Cumbria it has to be attended to without delay. 

If you notice missing stones or iron works then please let us know the precise location by telephoning the Cumbria Highways Hotline (0845 609 6609).  We will attend the site as soon as possible to make it safe.  If you see the stones being taken then do not approach the people involved.  Makes notes about the vehicle type, registration number and the people involved.  Telephone the Police immediately.
